70-85% touchless
Most invoices match and post automatically, with no human intervention.
Invoice Automation
Touchless invoice processing. Audit-ready by default.
Automated three-way matching, exception routing and approval workflows - so your AP team spends time on exceptions that matter, not manual data entry.
Outcomes
Less manual work, faster close, cleaner audit trail.
Faster processing
Minutes instead of days per invoice, even at high transaction volume.
Fewer duplicate payments
Automated duplicate detection catches errors before they reach payment.
Audit-ready trails
Every match, exception and approval is logged for internal and statutory audit.
Capabilities
From invoice receipt to payment posting.
Automated data capture
Invoices arriving via email, portal or EDI are captured and structured automatically.
Three-way match
PO, GRN and invoice matched automatically with configurable tolerance controls.
Exception routing
Mismatches route to the right approver with the relevant context attached.
Non-PO invoice workflows
Coding assistance and approval routing for invoices without a purchase order.
Duplicate & fraud detection
Automated checks flag duplicate invoices and suspicious payment requests.
Direct ERP posting
Approved invoices post directly to SAP ECC/S4HANA or your ERP of choice.
In practice
What this replaces
Manual accounts payable is a matching exercise carried out by people. An invoice arrives, someone finds the purchase order, someone else confirms the goods were received, differences are chased by email, and the invoice is approved or held. Each step is simple. The volume is what makes it expensive, and the email chasing is what makes it slow.
The consequences reach beyond AP. Late payment is priced into the next quote and suppliers who expect delays build a buffer into their numbers, which shows up as a cost of goods problem rather than a process problem. Duplicate payments, which manual processes catch inconsistently, are recovered slowly if at all. And a close that depends on chasing is a close that cannot be shortened by adding discipline alone.
Automated three-way matching inverts the default. Purchase order, receipt or service entry sheet and invoice are compared automatically; anything agreeing within tolerance posts without human involvement, and only genuine exceptions route to a queue - with the order, the receipt, the contract and the approval history attached, so resolution is a decision rather than an investigation.
What makes this work is that the PO the invoice is matched against was raised from a contract that was awarded in a sourcing event on the same platform. Matching is only as reliable as the data upstream of it.
Fit
Who uses it, and what it connects to
Who uses it. Accounts payable work the exception queue rather than the invoice pile; financial controllers care about close timing and duplicate prevention; procurement care because payment behaviour shapes what suppliers quote next time.
What it connects to. Purchase orders and receipts from Procure-to-Pay, contract terms from Source-to-Contract, and the ERP as system of record through purpose-built SAP ECC and S/4HANA connectors or documented REST APIs. See integrations.
What it does not do. It cannot match what was never ordered properly. A high touchless rate is downstream of PO discipline; invoices against vague or absent orders will always need a human.
FAQ
Invoice automation questions we hear often.
What percentage of invoices can be processed touchlessly?
Most enterprise customers reach 70-85% touchless processing within the first two quarters, with the remainder routed to exception queues for human review.
How does three-way matching work?
The platform automatically matches purchase order, goods receipt and invoice line items, with configurable tolerance thresholds for price and quantity variance before flagging an exception.
Can it handle non-PO invoices?
Yes - non-PO invoices route through configurable approval workflows with coding assistance, so they don't bypass control just because there's no purchase order.
